If you're using "queue 10000" or lots of calls to "queue" in a single submit file, they different processes will be submitted all at once. What's your problem with submitting large numbers of jobs at once? If it's a matter of not being able to have lots of jobs running at the same time, there may be other solutions.
When I tried to submit 300,000 jobs at once, the schedd ran out of memory and became unusably slow. It's a somewhat older server with limited RAM. I may need to increase the number of jobs to several million in a later stage. Would a recent schedd with new hardware handle that many queued jobs?
